GameSpy has posted a developer diary written by Firefly's Simon Bradbury regarding the castle sieges in their upcoming Strategy title, Stronghold 2. Here's some juice:

To start with you'll need a siege camp. This is where all your siege equipment will be created, and it must be protected against forays from inside the castle. You will then assess the castle and order appropriate machines to counter their (possibly) well-drawn up defenses. Your amassed troops are marshaled and your siege devices have started to soften the walls. You order a dummy attack by sending archers to the front and build some mantlets to protect them from castle fire. You send in a squad of hapless peasants to try and fill in the moat in front of a weak spot (they have been given protection from a cat).
